But...
I assumed that the original poster didn't have MREAD/MWRITE, or we wouldn't
have this thread here.
I am promoting the "CTOS open".  There should be PD software in existence
for a system with over a million users.  There certainly is for the
Convergent/AT&T UNIX PC, with its measely 75,000 users.

I see postings from people who have acquired B20, etc, as the business
users move up to the faster CTOS hardware.  These folks are probably living
with CTOS 8.x, or its BTOS eqivalent.  They are going to have to craft
their own software, or pay people like you.  An hour of your time is
probably more than they paid for the machine ;-).

		Glad to see you back.
You aren't actually using a **IX machine to post this, are you ?????
